Making Waste Work
WasteAid tackles the environmental, economic, and social challenges of unmanaged waste by turning it into a resource—fuelling innovation, empowering communities, and driving a circular economy.
The Problem with Waste
- Rising Waste Volumes: With over 2 billion tonnes of municipal waste generated annually, unchecked waste management creates severe pollution, health hazards, and accelerates climate change.
- Impact on Vulnerable Communities: In regions without formal waste management, unsafe disposal practices like dumping and burning wreak havoc on local health, ecosystems, and economies.
Our Approach
At WasteAid, we collaborate with local communities, governments, and businesses to implement scalable, resourceful solutions that not only clean up waste but also unlock economic potential. Our work is built on seeing waste as a valuable resource that can be transformed into valuable products and services, proving that sustainable waste management can drive lasting, positive change.
Our Flagship Programmes
Our innovative projects are structured around three core initiatives—each a unique pathway to transforming waste challenges into opportunities for growth and development.
